#WWDC ANNOUNCEMENTS SOFTWARE#

Hoping to tackle this, Apple iOS14 will not only overhaul the home screen, but how apps function. It can be difficult for app developers to hear, but people have too many apps. Everything you need to know about WWDC 2020 Removing Barriers to App Consumption

#WWDC ANNOUNCEMENTS SOFTWARE#

Some software may require additional effort to port, which is why Apple has opened applications for the $500 Mac mini Developer Transition Kit to allow you to test your software before new Macs are released in the fall. We've even seen big games like Lara Croft Shadow of the Tomb Raider tested on the new system and working smoothly without any code changes, all thanks to Rosetta 2. Apple’s translation software Rosetta 2, should ease this transition by allowing software originally developed for 圆8_64 Intel chips to work on the new chips without any additional work on the developer's part.

While Apple's own apps are tested and compatible, adjusting to Silicon will mean existing applications built to work with Intel chips will no longer work on new Macs being released later this year. Just as importantly, Silicon means more potential customers for your apps as native iOS/iPad apps will now run on Macs without any effort on the developer's part. This streamlined hardware and software integration should mean higher performance at lower power consumption while also meaning Mac’s product schedule is no longer hindered by Intel's product development timeline. The biggest show of this unified experience was the reveal of Apple’s long-rumored transition from 圆8_64 Intel chips to their own ARM-based CPU architecture dubbed, Silicon. Showcasing bold moves to create a unified experience across devices, Apple focused on removing some of the biggest hurdles around app consumption and pain points around functionality and performance. While WWDC is always a lively time for updates for developers, there’s rarely much to be excited about.
